Spilt All Over » internet http://blog.spiltallover.com creativity spilt all over Wed, 02 Apr 2014 10:11:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 I want my twitter app http://blog.spiltallover.com/2009/09/i-want-my-twitter-app/ http://blog.spiltallover.com/2009/09/i-want-my-twitter-app/#comments Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:39:00 +0000 admin The past year has been heavy on iPhone and Twitter for me. Being the iPhone app addict i am i have been buying at least 1 app a week not including the free ones and the first and last thing i do every day is to check for updates. I have bought all the major twitter iPhone apps (Tweetdeck, Birdfeed, Echofon pro, IM+ push for twitter, Twitterrific, Twirxt, Tweetie, Twinkle) as well as downloading and installing some for my desktop (Echofon firefox add-on, Tweetdeck, Digsby), and while some of them have some of the features I want/need/crave none of them completes my list, not to mention to have them all together. So here is a list of the features i would like a software that has an iPhone app (selfishly, maybe better say mobile app), a desktop app, browser add-ons (preferably for firefox) all of them in sync, and i think they are technically possible, to have:
  • consistent interface and functionality across platforms
  • groups (tweet deck like)
  • rss based syncing to overcome the 100 tweets twitter limit (I have that in google reader but it lacks the twitter app functionality)
  • option to chronologically reverse the tweet display order
  • last tweet read stamp, to remember where you left of
  • easy retweet, mark as read (preferably by choice either when rolling over or by a button), favorite, reply
  • search for user and ability to follow, unfollow and add to group
  • shrink url
  • upload image and add link
  • upload video and add link
  • add location link
  • trends
  • nearby tweets
  • tweet shrink

I am not a programmer/developer but most of those features already exist in other apps and those that don’t i think are doable. Having said that, I am more than willing to help with the rest of the process (wireframes, UI, logos etc.) if anyone is interested in developing all this, but in any case I would pay for an app like that and i am surprised there isn’t one out there, taking the publicity twitter has gained.

The site feature an innovative user interface in which the user draws shapes to navigate. Although in one form or another the similar attempts have been made before this one works like a charm, the drawing part at least. On the down side you are not able to see specific type of work but then again that may be the goal, getting a user that looks for something specific to see (or sell) even more things.
Over all its a great piece of work shows that the abilities of flash are even greater and that for people that are truly creative there are still things to be discovered

It will automatically convert it into either MPEG (plays on every computer) or MP4 (plays on iPods) and save it for you. iTube can also optionally import the file into iTunes, so that on the next sync it will appear on your iPod Video.
Simply enter in the YouTube page URL and iTube will download the file, convert it, and then import it directly into iTunes. The next time you plug in your iPod video it will automatically transfer. If you don’t have an iPod video, you can still watch the movie in iTunes.
